Spent a lovely morning with the martins the live by the Loire in Nevers, France #birds

A house martin is banking mid-flight, both their wings outstretched and their tail feathers spread wide.

Here is an unbelievably determined crow parent. With feathers in this condition they had to carefully plan each leap into the air. Still, they stayed focused on finding food, breaking it into nestling-sized pieces, soaking those in water, then making the difficult climb back up to their nest #birds

A hooded crow has just taken off from a walking path in the park. They are pumping their wings hard, but you can see huge gaps through their feathers. Nonetheless their throat pouch is full and they are determined to make it back to their children waiting in a nest nearby.

from a series i was working on last summer about birds and "trash" #birds #crows #trash #trashbirds

A young hooded crow is pumping their wings in mid-air, trying to take off as a garbage collection truck pulls up to a dumpster piled high with all kinds of trash. A metal bbq on wheels sits abandoned in the background.

more chaos at the roost i'm struggling with slow-shutter-panning shots of many of crows at once – they are a very disorderly bunch #birds #crows #roost

Many crows are flying around downtown berlin at night. By lengthening the exposure and moving the camera with them they appear against a blur of city lights.

someone has been sleeping in a nest built by some of our crow neighbors (they are not amused) 🪹🦉 #birds #owl #crows

A long eared owl sits in a large nest built of sticks high in an evergreen tree. Everything is dripping wet in a cold winter rain.

a remarkable flock of pigeons foraging on a brisk winter night in nyc i'm still documenting some of their nighttime activities, hopefully more to come #birds

It's nighttime, lots of streetlights are lit, and a pigeon is hunched over drinking from a puddle next to someone standing at a food cart parked on the streets of brooklyn.

Bonfire night is here! Sending love to those sheltering with animal companions @wascherclaudia.bsky.social and I have new research out about the impacts fireworks have on urban corvids: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... And as video: youtu.be/dCfHEqJfx2A #BonfireNight #birds #crows #urbanwildlife

Crows are flying around in the dark through thick smoke as fireworks explode all around.

Hundreds of crows can be seen flying in to roost around Alexanderplatz on a grey winter night.

As Bonfire Night approaches, new research lnkd.in/epBXK8Tu by @distrustful-dinos.bsky.social and me shows that fireworks significantly disturb urban corvids. OA: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/d... #BonfireNight #Wildlife #AnimalWelfare #Corvids 📸 Photo: @distrustful-dinos.bsky.social

A pigeon pumps their wings in mid-air, preparing to land among dozens of others already on the ground eating food provided by a man looking on in the background.

🪶🌧️ molting time can't come soon enough for one of my neighbor crows

A hooded crow is flying through a mid-summer rain. They're pumping their wings hard and you can see their feathers are frayed and waterlogged – worn out from an intense year of use. Molting will come soon!

a pigeon enjoying their cozy home on a rainy day (their partner kept bringing the soggiest plant stems you've ever seen the whole time I watched) 🕊️🪶🌧️

A pigeon sits inside an old Italian chimney crown, made of bricks and mortar with a nice tile roof. Hundreds of little raindrops appear frozen in the air all around, but the pigeon is puffy and dry.

A wider-angle view of the same scene puts the pigeon's little chimney house in context, nestled among other roofs with some green trees just visible through the rain in the background.

imagine you're a bug flying around minding your own business and this is the last thing you see 🐝😱🪶

A swift is hurting through the air directly towards the camera, their mouth agape, a twinkle of murder in their eyes

A swallow is flying in a gentle loop, their back to the camera, the morning sun turning their feathers a molten brown.

a wood pigeon on a sunny morning in berlin 🪶🕊️

A wood pigeon is pumping their wings to redirect their momentum as they swoop upwards towards a perch. Distant green trees fill the background and the morning sun makes all of their feathers glow.

🪶 sad to report, after a strong early start, two crow broods i've been watching ended in tragedy however, both couples maintain multiple nests – i think they're going to try again! pics: one crow waiting outside the supermarket in a storm while their partner sheltered the nest
